The TCB accepts any DC voltage from 7-15 volts. That means common 6,7 & 8 cell NiCad/NiMH batteries, 2S or 3S LiPo batteries, and even 12v lead acid batteries will all work. | The TCB accepts any DC voltage from 7-15 volts.

Because the TCB typically requires the use of some sort of external speed control, perhaps the easiest way to provide power to the board is to create a Y-cable from the speed control power cable. See below for an example. | Because the TCB typically requires the use of some sort of external speed control, perhaps the easiest way to provide power to the board is to create a Y-cable from the speed control power cable.
